The third development snapshot of v5 was tagged today. This release brings some major changes including:
Modules and extensions being switched from reference<> and raw pointers to std::shared_ptr<>.
Unification of how module services (e.g. commands, modes, etc) are registered with the core.
A redesign of how IRC case-insensitive strings are hashed and compared to be more robust and work with newer C++ features like std::string_view.
A redesign of how server messages are built and emitted to allow future changes to the server protocol wire format.
Many modules with related behaviour (e.g. chg* and set*) being merged.
Many custom numerics and server notices being replaced with IRCv3 standard replies.
As you might imagine such large changes will need a lot of testing and we’re looking for volunteers to help out.
As of today InspIRCd v3 is EOL and will no longer receive security updates. Please upgrade to v4 as soon as possible.
InspIRCd v5 is early in development. If you’d like to help out with development then please visit our development IRC channel.
